Today will feature mainly cloudy skies, slightly warmer temps, and morning drizzle turning to afternoon heavy rain as a strong cold front approaches the area. Look for highs to range from 35 in the north to 45 in the south. Drizzle and fog will be widespread in onshore flow this morning and through the midday hours before heavier rain arrives this afternoon into early this evening. Thunder is a distinct possibility in southern areas as well as strong SE winds. The whole storm quickly shifts NE tonight leaving much nicer weather for the weekend.
Today will feature the remains of yesterday’s storm system as it slowly drifts ENE. Look for cloudy skies, cold temps, and plenty of drizzle throughout the area and throughout the day. Expect highs not to get above 40 degrees with most folks a few degrees above freezing. Drizzle and fog will be plentiful but organized precip will not as our storm continues to lift away.
Today will feature heavy rain and snow depending on your location. Right along the coast, a coastal front has developed over the midcoast, York County, and just west of Portland. Winds to the east of the CF are out of the east and will be keeping these areas 100% rain throughout the day. Across Northern Casco Bay and interior areas though, Cold Air Damming is locked in place with cold NNE winds keeping cold dry air readily available. In these areas, any raindrops first thing this morning will quickly turn to snow.
As for snowfall accumulations, check the map below.
Snow/rain is arriving currently from SW to NE and will linger through midmorning tomorrow especially in the north.
Highs will range from 32 in the mountains to 45 east of the Coastal Front.
Today will feature mainly sunny skies along with light winds and warm temps. Highs are expected to get up into the mid 40’s north and mid 50’s south. Enjoy the warmth because by this time tomorrow, most of the area will be seeing another round of heavy snow!
Today will feature clearing skies and warming temps for most as yesterday’s storm system moves well to our east. A weak disturbance will keep some clouds up in the mountains and a sprinkle or flurry will be possible there as well. As for temps, look for highs ranging from the upper 30’s in the north to upper 40’s in the south.
More snow is expected Tuesday though that system looks a little warmer and areas south of Portland are likely to change over to rain at some point. More details as we get closer.
Light to moderate snow is falling across the area this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day today, possibly mixing with a raindrop or two along the immediate coastline. Total snowfall accumulations will range from near or over a foot in far SW ME and southern NH to less than an inch NE of Augusta. Snow will move out of N/NE/NW areas first later this morning with central parts of the area keeping the snow until mid to late afternoon and the coastline enjoying flakes until early evening.
Send me your snowfall reports throughout the day so I can verify my forecast! It helps me get better in the future!
Temps will range from 40 in far northern areas that may get some sun this afternoon to 32 in central/coastal areas that get cooling effects from the storm.
